Re: myths about sub sizes

I've noticed that 12's are not very much more than 10's. (Example, SSA GCON 10" = $189, 12" = 199). Space is not an issue, going behind the rear seats of a 2007 Dodge Ram Megacab...so neither are really limitations on me.

Re: myths about sub sizes

I disagree. First 2 times i built a box it blew to pieces. Id rather to pay for top quality. This hobby is all about $$, so why does purchasing a box make it less of a hobby?

This hobby is not all about money. It's about making the best system for your needs with what you have.

And because you can't build your own system, it means you don't know **** about car audio. All you do is pay others to do it for you instead of learning.

I don't know a single older member on these boards that knows their **** who couldn't build and design their own system. You are not a car audio guy. You are someone who pays car audio guys to build your system for you.

Some people do not have the time,space, or tools needed to build their own boxes. I do not look down on those who would rather pay to get a box designed/built. At least they aren't throwing their subs in a prefab.

The cost of the tools is more than covered by the cost of having someone professionally build you a box. A craftsman circular saw/drill combo can be had for $75. And I've built in apartments. So those are null and void excuses.

Not having the time....
If you don't have the time for your hobby, then it's not your hobby or way of life.

People that don't build/design their own systems are not car audio guys. They are people who buy it and throw it in their car.

It's like me saying I'm a construction worker (I am not) because I bought a house.

Poor anology. "Being a homeowner" would be the same if you built your house or paid somebody. Doesnt make you less of a homeowner for buying your house rather than building it.
